:: Travel Weekly ::: "Rail Europe Group launched a new point-to-point rail ticket booking engine featuring live inventory of European and U.K. trains at its trade-exclusive Web site at http://agent.raileurope.com.
Dispensing with the timetable-based approach previously used by Rail Europe Group companies Rail Europe and DER, as well as other North American distributors, the new booking engine mimics airline booking engines, showing 'available trains at available fares,' according to the company.
'Because we give agents access to live inventory on the revamped site, this streamlines the booking process, eliminating the need to go back to their client when the schedule they requested is not available,' said Fabrice Morel, President and CEO of Rail Europe Group, in a statement.
New functionality includes: incorporation of seat reservations in overall ticket fares; online, side-by-side comparison of first- and second-class fares; and immediate confirmation of ticket purchase and seat reservations.
Agent commission on point-to-point rail tickets ranges from 4% to 7%.
For more information on the individual Rail Europe Group companies, call Rail Europe at (888) 382-7245 or DER at (800) 782-2424"
